I have over 60 contacts in my address book from a single organisation that has recently changed its domain name. I'd like to be able to a mass 'find and replace' so that the portion of these addresses after '@' gets changed ina single operation. Is this possible?

Many thanks, but the add on doesn't seem to have a function to replace '@old.domain' with '@new.domain' in multiple addresses.

I've solved the problem by exporting the Personal Address Book, doing a Find and Replace with Word, re-importing it to Thunderbird, searching for and deleting all the '@old.domain' addresses in the original PAB (because it can't be deleted so as to replace it with the imported set), then finding the '@new.domain' addresses in the imported book and dragging them into the default PAB. A bit clunky, but it worked!

With the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on installed, right-click a set of contacts in Address Book, 'Edit properties collectively'.
